Eyewitnesses described a scene with a residential building, a store, and a road in the attack’s epicenter, where many people were present, including children.
Among those hospitalized, half of the injuries are classified as severe, with reports of a 13-year-old girl in critical condition. Emergency services are actively transporting the injured to hospitals.
Later that evening, Zaporizhzhia faced its own assault, confirmed by regional governor Ivan Fedorov. One woman was injured, and there are concerns about individuals trapped under rubble, prompting urgent rescue efforts.
